A lot of my animation teachers have me doing gesture drawings this both brought back memories of class and got me excited for next quarter. I see you are another example of how professionals do this in their processes. Thanks for making this!

Steve Ahn was scary good at drawing for these kind of action cartoon. Invincible art style reminded me of the days of stuff like X-men Evolution or Men in Black cartoon era.

Awesome, I love how you explain how to think about and visualize the body! The reason behind what you're saying is clear and gives a much needed perspective shift on drawing for me, thanks for this video!

I’ll try this outside innapproach for sure! My drawings are always so messy so I think doing the full body shape as a first draft will help instead of drawing contour lines early. As you said it depends on the goal of the image :)

Also you said you are always trying to “figure” out an approach. Good one!
(Ok I’m sorry)
